Welcome to Project Noah! Agnes is correct, please write out the complete scientific name in that section rather than abbreviating so your spotting can be properly used by the database on the site. Thanks!

Awesome spotting! For the common name, you could use Spiny-backed Spider, and for the scientific name, pls use the complete name Thelacantha brevispina. Regards!!
